Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S.
I don't know anything about Android.
Because it was a used phone when I bought, how can I know if it is rooted or not? Do I have to root/unroot to be able to update to Froyo?
It has no stricker on it or no logo on phone start of any gsm carrier.
I9000XXJF3 is the model.
Thanks from now..

You never have to root a phone to update it..
You are using a european SGS.
My suggestion is to install kies though, and update it, because JF3 is from June
When I go to Firmware Upgrade via Kies it writes:
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version : PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JF3
This device's version cannot be updated.
This means you have latest firmware

Hi All,
I an currently running a rooted version of 2.1. The build number is ECLAIR.XWJG1.MCR-r2.
The baseband version is I9000XXJG1.
I would like to upgrade to the official 2.2 Euro rom.
What do I need to do? I am concerned that if I just upgrade, I will brick it.
Anyone? Help
Um...use KIES.

It's a rooted version of the Modaco custom rom.
I am guessing that I will encounter problems if I try to use Kies. I am in Ireland so the UK firmwares would apply to me.
Today my dad bought a Galaxy S.
I want to update to Android 2.2
When i upgrade through Kies,it said "This Version can't be install on your device".
What problem?
I'm in India.

are you sure froyo has been released for your specific phone/carrier? Froyo comes out for different countries at different times, so depending on where you are you might not be at 2.2 yet. When you plug your phone into your computer and connect via kies does it say there is an update available? If not then you are most likely at the latest ROM for your area.
Searched abt this in google.
Froyo Released for india.
When I run firmware update in kies,it shows Firmware details, "upgrade" button is disabled and Text "This firmware can't be installed on your device.

Contact the network or Samsung service centre .
Or take the other route and flash your own firmware .
Read posts first pages general first .
Flashing your own firmware will void your warranty may brick your phone .So as its not your phone i would not .##

Also make sure you are running the latest version of Kies
I will that and tell u.

Flash the official Indian Froyo firmware (DDJP6) yourself using ODIN... There's information about that all over these forums.
Hi guys,
Where can I find the stock froyo rom to downgrade to? Reason for this is I want to update to gingerbread via Samsung Kies.
Also can I use Froyo Stock Rom from any country?
Thanks
What tab do you have? Carrier?

I called samsung south africa this afternoon, they provided me with the following for my device in south africa.
Model Number: GT-P1000
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: P1000XXJMA
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.XWJMI
I found it on samfirmware and flashed it using Odin etc.
Now im running the stock rom I initially had.
I have connected device to PC with Samsung Kies, it now tells me that my current version is the latest version. So this means the update for Gingerbread 2.3.3 is still not available in South Africa.
I will go back to Overcome Kratos which was running quite fine thanks
Thanks everyone for your input and advice
any idea how to?
Kies does not support custom rom

What FW / ROM that you're using now ? Maybe there's no upgrade available yet for your region.

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany
how to you change to German and is the original ee firmware available if I need to go back. Are everything okay with your phone with the new firmware and did you unlock yours like I did sorry for all the questions

Bll3 for i9305 for EE UK ver 4.1.2 is out, find it on samsung-updates.com

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time
